Turbidity is a measure of the loss of light transmittance through a liquid due to suspended particles. The more particles in the water, the murkier it looks or the higher the turbidity. This is a measure of the quality of the water. It is measured in units called Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU). Turbidity can be caused by run off after a heavy rain as erosion washes soil into a river or lake. It is often increased in the spring and fall when the water temperature at different levels in a lake change causing a turnover of those levels, bringing sediment, plants, and algae to the top.

AppliTek manufactures wet-chemical analyzers specifically designed for measuring on a continuous base the quality indices of drinking water, from raw water intake up to distribution level. Our systems have a small footprint, reduced reagent consumption and show excellent levels of detection in compliance with modern standards. On top of that, the delivery of safe water throughout the water cycle will raise the need for efficient monitoring systems detecting in real-time contaminations. `Broadband toxicity`, a non-specific parameter defined by AppliTek, is a prodigiously new and clean technology for safeguarding drinking water.

Depending on the regulations, a steam boiler must be equipped with one or more direct and/ or indirect level gauges. With direct level gauges, the liquid level can be seen directly through a glass or mica window. The use of a transparent level gauge with background illumination gives operating staff a clear separation between the water and steam zones even when viewed at a relatively long distance. Bicolour level gauges (black and white or green and red) are very suitable for camera transmission to the measuring station because of their special design and the intense LED illumination. With indirect level gauges, the water level is transmitted by a magnetic system to a display panel on the outside of a pipe.

Everyone has a responsibility to care for the environment to reduce the levels of pollution, including businesses that daily release emissions into the air and the ground. This is why we provide a full-service environmental testing service to help businesses identify problems and resolve them so they operate in the most environmentally-friendly method possible. We offer air emission testing, emissions monitoring services and stack emissions testing to businesses of all sizes.

Industrial additive mixing and blending equipment from Pulsair Systems. Pulsair industrial additives mixing systems are designed to efficiently mix and blend additives with base liquid products yielding faster blending times and a more homogenous solution at a much lower cost than traditional mixing systems. Pulsair mixing systems support many industries that require mixing additives such as lubricants, food processing, chemicals, paints and more. Our non-shear industrial additive mixing systems are highly energy efficient, easy to use and maintain, cost-effective and well suited for any base product and oil, food and chemical additive mixture. The Pulsair mixing process can efficiently mix in any size and number of tanks.

The combined photo-radiometric probe LP471P-A measures the two parameters of principal interest in the field of lighting, namely the ILLUMINATION (lux) and UVA IRRADIANCE (W/m2). The probe is composed by a luxmeter and an UVA radiometer. The signals of the two sensors are read and processed at the same time to visualize the relation between the two quantities expressed in µW/lumen. The two sensors are equipped with a diffuser for the correct measure according to the cosine law. The probe LP471P-A is particularly useful when the simultaneous measurement of illuminance and UVA irradiance is required. For example, in museum environment when it is necessary to evaluate the UVA radiation level in the lamps in order to avoid damage to paintings or wood or any other historical art objects(CIE 157) and another area of interest is the Non Destructive Testing (NDT) that employ penetrating liquids, used primarily in the fields of mechanics and aerospace(ISO 3059:2001)

The act of capturing and storing CO2 produced from large scale combustion plants such as power stations is becoming more and more favourable and feasible. One of the most common post-combustion CO2 capture methods is by absorption. The absorption plant can be added on to the existing combustion process, with the flue gas first passing through an absorption column where the CO2 reacts with an absorber. Amines of different types are used as the absorber. An amine CO2 capture plant can capture as much as 90% of the CO2 emitted from the power station and so has a real benefit for the environment. Having said this, care needs to be taken to ensure that amine emissions themselves are monitored, managed and prove no extra damage to the environment. Research is on-going to develop new amines or mixtures of amines to reduce emissions. The most common absorber in use in today’s first generation of industrial pilot plants is Monoethanolamine (MEA).

Thermal mass flow meters provide excellent measurement capabilities in dry gas flows. They have proven durability, accuracy, and repeatability. However, thermal flow meters are sensitive to liquid droplets in a wet gas stream. For a thermal flow meter to work accurately in a condensing gas environment, the probe must be placed far enough downstream so that the entrained water has condensed onto the pipe wall. In a very wet environment, any condensing liquid (commonly referred to as mist or fog) contacting the sensor probes causes a high reading due to the liquid vaporizing on the heated portion of the sensor. As a result of this deficiency, measurements with conventional thermal meters are largely ignored when moisture levels rise because there is no confidence that the measurements are true.

Once an archetypal example of manual production, the winery and brewery industries now incorporate sophisticated processes to ensure high quality levels and efficient output. In some cases traditional approaches have simply been scaled up or put under more stringent monitoring, whilst in others innovations such as nitrogen-pressurised canning have been introduced. However, whichever approach has been followed there is also a growing realisation of the gas hazards that are associated with both new and old processes, and the need to protect workers from toxic gas exposure and asphyxiation risks.
